Abstract: Implementations described herein include gathering through a website, data from posters/experts in particular careers through computing devices. The data is presented to a number of users looking at different careers and jobs. In one implementation, if information in a user's profile matches one or more attributes associated with a career, the career is recommended to the user. In another possible implementation, results of a third party personality test can be used to augment the user's profile. In yet another possible implementation, various webpages and/or services can be examined for user activity, and this activity can be used to augment or further quantify the user's profile.

Abstract: This invention discloses a communication device for use with computers and networks. Users are allowed to select certain preferred vendors from whom the user would like to receive information, advertisements, and/or promotions and/or with whom the user would like to communicate, and/or otherwise directly interact.

Abstract: A data link tester comprises a computer capable of a connection with a communications bus in a piece of equipment having at least one component in selective contact with the bus. The computer contains instructions for (1) building a roster comprising at least one identifier of the component and (2) then performing a diagnostic step comprising at least one of (i) analyzing communications received from the communications bus to determine the condition of communications with respect to the component, (ii) determining whether a message that contains the identifier has been received from the communications bus within a specified period of time, and (iii) diagnosing at least one fault condition in CAN communications in the communications bus by performing at least one CAN message check comprising determining whether a CAN message has been received from the communications bus and then performing at least one second diagnostic step. In some embodiments, the piece of equipment is a vehicle.
